I tried setting DD-WRT up with as much of the same settings as the factory FW as possible. I selected channel 44 in the Netgear setup and as you can see it gave me channels 44 and 48. Does anybody know how the (P) and (S) there correlate to the wide channel upper/lower setting in DD-WRT? Also, the channels used by the NG FW are 4 apart, as compared to the 2 in DD-WRT. Could this be part of the performance difference?

Does anybody have any thoughts on how I can get some more speed out of this puppy since I know the hardware is capable of it?

do you know how to revert back to the wndr3300 stock firmware? I'm trying to revert one of mine back to the original firmware but I noticed that DD-WRT doesn't like the netgear firmware with the .chk. is the recovery using tftp at the beginning with the router starts up? if so what tftp program do you use to send the netgear .chk firmware file?

I'm doing some testing with 2 of these things an I have run into a throughput problem when two clients are on the same spectrum (5GHz N or 2.4GHz N). I get extremely slow local network file transfers with the wndr3300 running dd-wrt firmware 13577. I want to try the old firmware and do the same tests.

Hey Steve,
I have 3 WNDR3300's and was running DD-WRT but your post made me think twice.
I went back to stock netgear firmware last night and I can confirm that I do indeed get higher speeds like you do.

I know DD-WRT has to handle lots of router types, there must be something different which the original firmware is getting but dd-wrt is missing to get that extra edge.

The bummer with the original firmware is that you can't do WPA2 in repeater mode. Only WEP which is pretty basic and insecure.

i see you guys are talking about the wndr3300 router. I wanted to ask you guys to see if you are having the same throughput issue as I do.

currently I have 2 wndr3300 with dd-wrt running on both. I have one of them configured to run both radios (one interface is running 5GHz N and 2nd running 2.4GHz b/g). The 2nd wndr3300 is configured to just be an extra AP. On the wndr3300 running as just and AP has the one interface configured for 2.4GHz N.

Now my problem is when I have two client PCs connecting to the same wireless spectrum like 5GHz N and do a local file transfer it goes extremely slow (170KB/s). If I have both clients connect to 2.4GHz N and do a local file transfer it goes extremely slow too. If I have one client connect to 5GHz N and the other on 2.4GHz N and do a local file transfer it does really fast (5-8MB/s).

do any of you have this problem?

also I have no wireless security setting in place or firewalls running on any of the PCs

You already have a thread about this problem I think? These appear to be completely different issues, alike only in that both reference transfer speed.

when running NEWD2 on the wndr3300 do you loose the use of interface wl1. I have heard some say you do.

just wondering

you must have posted this at the same time I was posting the same information in your thread

Yes, when you use NEWD-2 on this router you see no evidence that wl1 even exists. Ironic that one criteria in buying this thing was that it have 2 interfaces so that I could have high speed N and my GF could still connect with her G - so now I have to run 2 routers LOL_________________Linksys 610Nv2 DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/24/10) mega - build 14144

I flashed DD-WRT for my WNDR3300. I felt the same thing. For my htpc, ps3, iphone, I do a speed test, it is slower than netgear firmware. Also when steaming video, it feel jumpy and freezing. this never happened before I use DD-WRT

No problems here. Factory FW may be faster, but in my case it doesn't matter. Even if my link throughput is slower, I still have plenty of overhead to handle my network speed of 10Mbps down / 0.1 Mbps up. Throughput could become a problem if I were dealing with a higher network speed, but as it stands it's enough.

Also, one thing I get with DD-WRT that I couldn't get with factory FW is whole house coverage. The signal now gets to every part of my house. The WNDR3300 with factory FW couldn't do that.

I think the whole picture needs to be considered and not only based on diminished throughput. Agreeably DD-WRT might not be the best choice for this particular router, especially for those who depend on both radios, but in my case I'm quite satisfied.
